Hi can you tell if it is busy/instable?or drdy ready(slow)?

Anyway,it's seems an overlay corruption.

I recommend to back up SA first off all

Use donor SA and adapt it

Read from secondary SA copy if available.

Overlay rebuild + translator régénération 

 Hope it will help you

In serial mode , set 400K as baud rate

read the system files

let me know which are read correctly and which are marked in red with error

or if you already did it, please confirm that the unique bad file is the 348 in both copies

thanks

Yes

I cannot read 348-0 bytes 0-0xfff

At 0x1000 it reads and looks good. 

I cannot read any of 348-1

I didn't try the entire 348-1.

I used SA LBA ATA for recovery mode on maximum and can't improve it

I was able to get some hex using SA LBA in text mode but it doesn't look comparable to the start of good 348's

SA LBA ESLIP mode didn't seem to even start. Maybe need to repower to get it into eslip

if you can read all the mandatory sys files and only the MCTM is corrupted

you can wipe it

Just be warned wiping the MCMT will delete any records still in the MC. It very rarely causes data to be lost, but it can happen.

There are new options in the unlock rom feature

Looks like they applied DFW patch Show/Skip Dev Fault

Looks like he read 348-0 0-fff using text and ignore error..

Both copies of 348 now readable

?? anybody know what this new option is FORCE BFW ?

He turned off SMP flags

hi,

Good news, as far as I know Force BFW (Boot Firmware) is an advanced startup option that forces the drive to boot using the Boot Firmware index when the normal firmware initialization fails.

This option is typically used when the drive cannot complete its standard firmware loading sequence due to SA module errors, overlay loading failure, SMP flag errors, or initialization aborts.
